Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Sharp BP-B550WD is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a small office or workgroup of 5-20 people that prints 1,000-3,500 letter/legal pages a month and scans multi-page stacks daily.
  • You need single-pass duplex scanning — the 100-sheet DSPF runs at 130 ipm (versus 40 ipm on the 540WR), which is the main reason to step up to this model.
  • You want Wi-Fi standard — 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac is built in (unlike most Sharp BP-50 floor units where it's optional).
  • You need print, copy, scan, and Super G3 fax in one desktop chassis with built-in OCR and native scan to Microsoft Teams folder, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, SharePoint, and Gmail/Exchange.
  • You need a 50-ppm desktop without the floor space, weight, or 208V power requirement of an A3 floor unit.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 4,500 pages a month — the chassis handles it, but you'll be replacing toner more often than ideal.
  • You sometimes need 100-sheet stapling — the BP-FN17 30-sheet inner finisher is the matched accessory; if you need more, step up to a BP-50M floor unit.
  • You want a high stand and second drawer — the BP-DS14 high stand plus up to three BP-CS12 600-sheet drawers stack to a 2,350-sheet maximum.
  • You're replacing an older Sharp MX-B desktop — operators adapt to the 7" tilting touchscreen within a couple of days.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need color. This is mono only.
  • You need 11x17 — max original/output is 8.5 x 14 (legal); for tabloid look at the BP-50M26 floor unit.
  • You print more than 5,000 pages a month at peak — at that volume the per-page cost gets ugly. Look at the BP-50M26 or BP-50M31 floor unit instead.
  • You don't need single-pass duplex scanning — if scan volume is light, the BP-B540WR with the 50-sheet RSPF is the cheaper pick.
  • You expected a built-in stand or large second drawer — it ships with a single 500-sheet drawer plus 50-sheet bypass; everything else is an option.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Sharp BP-B550WD is a 50-ppm desktop monochrome multifunction printer sized for small offices and workgroups of 5-20 people printing 1,000-3,500 pages a month. It prints, copies, scans, and faxes (Super G3 standard), with built-in OCR for scan to searchable PDF and Office formats. The headline difference versus the 540WR is the 100-sheet single-pass dual-scan DSPF at 130 ipm — more than 3x the scan throughput, which is the main reason offices step up to this model. The 7-inch tilting color touchscreen runs the same general Sharp UI as the bigger BP-50 floor units, so a mixed fleet of desktops and floor MFPs trains operators once. Standard configuration is a 500-sheet drawer plus 50-sheet bypass (550 sheets); maximum is 2,350 sheets across up to three optional 600-sheet BP-CS12 drawers, on the BP-DS14 high stand or BP-DS15 low stand. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet plus USB 2.0/3.0 plus Wi-Fi 5 standard (no adapter required), with AirPrint, Universal Print, OneDrive, Microsoft Teams folder, Box, Dropbox, and Gmail/Exchange in the base controller. Dimensions 19.4 x 21.6 x 24 in., 68 lb. — fits on a credenza. The thing buyers regret: speccing the 540WR when their daily scan volume justified the 550WD — the 540WR's 50-sheet RSPF becomes the daily bottleneck above 30-40 pages a day.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.
